Well, that's what you get. Yes, yes, I know the LA constitution is to blame for a lot of it, but cuts could've been made to higher education institutions. We have WAY too many public 4-yr colleges that are terrible.

Former LSU health care administrator Dr. Roxane Townsend has landed a top job at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock, Ark.

“I worry what the future of health care will be in Louisiana. I cannot be effective here,” Townsend said. “I’m not sure what they are doing is going to be best for the state.” Roxanne Townsend leaves for Arkansas

LSU's Medical School is currently looking for 6 senior level faculty to lead six different academic medical divisions right now because those division heads all left the state for other universities.

Other LSU execs who have left recently: System President John Lombardi Baton Rouge Chancellor Michael Martin to CSU College of Science Dean Kevin Carman left for UNR Business School Dean Chief Financial Officer Eric Monday to U Kentucky Vice Provost for Equity Katrice Albert left today for the University of Minnesota. Vice Provost Jack Hamilton

The College of Sciences for LSU has lost 9 faculty members including its most prized one who just helped LSU land a $20 million dollar research grant.

William Jenkins also said another 10 research faculty left LSU for other universities and taking with them over $16 million in research grants.

All of this is okay though because LSU has only fallen 10 spots to 58th according to the National Science Foundation rankings.
